[winswitch] installation problem with Ubuntu

[repod]

I ran apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade and apt-get update. I
noticed the dist-upgrade included certificates, but still got these
errors on the update:

Err https://winswitch.org precise/main i386 Packages
  server certificate verification failed. CAfile:
/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none

WFetched 3,733 kB in 26s (143 kB/s)

certificate verification failed. CAfile:
/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.
